Oh holy night! |
|
The stars are brightly shining |
|
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth! |
|
Long lay the world in sin and error pining |
|
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth. |
|
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices |
|
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn! |
|
Fall on your knees |
|
Oh hear the angel voices |
|
Oh night divine |
|
Oh night when Christ was born |
|
Oh night divine |
|
Oh night divine |
|
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming |
|
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand |
|
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming |
|
Here come the wise men from Orient land |
|
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger |
|
In all our trials born to be our friend. |
|
Truly He taught us to love one another |
|
His law is love and His gospel is peace |
|
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother |
|
And in His name all oppression shall cease |
|
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, |
|
Let all within us praise His holy name. |
